It, too, involved the great distances and the dif ficulties of the far east. Last night a group of veterans ot that war and the auxiliary to their organization met to consid er the old days and to ponder what may happen in the peace which has now returned. These members of the Unite'd Spanish War Veterans and aux iliary met last night at the home of Mrs. A. P. Nelson. The meet ing had been set for 8 p. m., but, havng associated for years almost like brothers and sisters, several families came to Mrs. Nelson's home unexpectedly for a potluck supper. ' At 8 p. m., the rest or the group arrived. Early arrivals were Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Ross, J. G. Henry, 9dolph Sonnenburg and Mrs. Ma rian Jordan. The group discussed the sim ilarities of the men who came back "then" and in 1918 and those who are coming back now. Their talk of the future, they agreed, boils down to what every one else thinks of the future: "No one knows." Th eir .celebration of victory, members said, was of a very ser ious and thoughtful sort. Mothers with sons in service were there and were too deeply happy the war has ended to think of much else. Refreshments were served late in the evening by Mrs. Florence Prescolt and Mrs. Jordan. Next meeting of the USWV and auxiliary will be the quarter ly session, Sept. 11.
